The result means both sides extended their unbeaten league runs to six games but Lazio was left in fifth, a point behind Juventus, which lost at home to Atalanta 4-0 at the weekend.

Udinese 1-0 Parma: Thauvin keeps Friulani flag flying
Udinese continue to climb the Serie A table with penalties, this time converted without drama by Florian Thauvin, for the first defeat of Cristian Chivu's Parma tenure. The Ducali had the ideal debut for new coach Chivu with a 2-0 victory over Bologna, but were still missing Milan Djuric, Adrian Bernabé, Valentin Mihaila, Hernani, Gabriel Charpentier, Yordan Osorio, Mateusz Kowalski, Alessandro Circati and Adrian Benedyczak. The Friulani were on a great run of 10 points from four games, but after Isaak Touré and Maduka Okoye, they also lost second-choice goalkeeper Razvan Sava to injury. See how it all unfolded on the Liveblog. Arthur Atta saw two early attempts parried by Zion Suzuki, and the goalkeeper also punched a Florian Thauvin free kick away. Thauvin saw his curler deflected off Botond Balogh's elbow during a clumsy fall and a penalty was awarded following the VAR On-Field Review. Unlike the drama of their 1-0 win over Lecce when Lorenzo Lucca infuriated his teammates and coach by insisting on stepping up, there was no debate with Thauvin converting off the inside of the left boot. Parma came out fighting for the restart, within 60 seconds Dennis Man sprung the offside trap and forced a difficult Daniele Padelli save at the near post. Balogh made an important block on Thauvin and from the resulting corner Kingsley Ehizibue volleyed wide from the edge of the area. Atta was forced off after suffering a sprain just as he was about to pull the trigger on a Thauvin assist, while Thauvin tested Suzuki again from distance. It really should've been 2-0 on 70 minutes when Oier Zarraga's cross was deflected into the path of Thauvin, but despite having time to control and line up the shoot, he somehow fired wide from nine yards. When Thauvin did curl a wonderful left-foot finish into the far top corner from the edge of the area on 78 minutes, it didn't count because Lucca was offside on the assist. Parma also threatened with Pontus Almqvist springing the offside trap and going around Padelli to deposit into an empty net, until Oumar Solet got back for the decisive goal-line clearance. Udinese's third-choice goalkeeper Padelli made two saves in 30 seconds on the Mateo Pellegrino strike from the edge of the box and then his header on the resulting corner.
